[Q] notification not always working - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have tried to search for this once already but the search function was down and im stuck at work at present so limited to how much time i have on the net. If this has already been answered, then by all means let me know and close the thread. anywho to the point.
i have my phone on the latest cyanogen rom and have been having continuous problems with notifications with handcent. now im not sure if this is handcent itself, if ive screwed up the notification settings on the cm parts or what, but every so often, if im doing something on my phone, i.e. surfing the net, chatting on ebuddy or other, i never receive a notification from handcent to tell me i have a message. i could be sitting there for ages doing something and nothing happens.
any ideas?

Backlight comes on with any incomming text message or email message

Hi I am running Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2 ROM.
And everytime I get an incomming text message or e-mail the backlight comes on.
This happens even after you put it into standby and none of the other buttons will wake it only the power button.
i think that is by default and if u want the phone to wake by pressing any key than u have to make that change under settings.
It should not do that, the last ROM I used did not have that issue. It may not be the ROM I would like to know if anyone else has this problem.
Hi everyone..is there really no way to disable the screen turning on when a text or e-mail comes in. When using a WM6.1 ROM, I have tried different ROMs and they all the doing the same. It seems this should be something that can be configured.
Any input from the experts...if not I will go back to WM 6.0
I didn't have it happen with L26 v4 ROM - it does with Dutty's and it does with Death v3. I have heard from others in those threads who say that it does not happen to them. Some have said that the BBCONNECT program 4.0.0.92 is the solution - I have not bothered to search for or try yet. For me , right now, the common thread seems to be AT&T based ROMs
Arghhhhh....I hate to step back into the dark ages but that issue really bugs me. Knowing that my phone is in my case and everytime and e-mail comes in the screen turns on for 10sec....that accounts for the my short battery life.....And I only want to run the ROM's from Dutty he does really great work....wish I knew half of what he does. I might be able to fix it myself...That then brings the question why certain ROM's an not others...
I will leave that question to the experts.
I think it does this because it is putting an alert notification on the screen... I disabled those on mine and they still seem to come on the screen!!
It's so annoying to have to deal with your emails and at the same time have to dismiss countless notifications!!!
Same annoying problem here.
WM 6.1, and every setting in 'sounds & notifications' fails to show results.
Whether I disable or enable the tone, the showing of a message, or the vibration.. no dice: it keeps waking up from standby mode.
i remember some else asking this question as welll... and i think someone was talking about changing something in the the registry, but i am also interested in this. it would come in handy when i have to put my phone in standby for a long time.

I too have this same issue. I've had my new ROM for several months and love it, but I would like to know how to stop the backlight from turning on everytime an email is received.
It never used to do this, however I am pretty sure the backlight always came on for new text messages.
I can deal with the text messages. However, I run blackberry connect for my work email. Having the backlight come on for each email obviously kills the battery life.
I know if can be disabled as it was before. The question is how? Is there a registry setting?

Notifications - odd issue

OK I've had this issue for a little while since trying non-stock firmware but it seems really inconsistent. The issue seems to be network related but that's my basic diagnosis. The problem is that I seem to only get notifications if I wake the phone up to check manually.
The best example of this is using any Twitter application where I have it set to check every 15 minutes and it seems like half the time that works fine and notifications come through fine. The rest of the time, something that that happened not long ago too, I looked at my phone and nothing there. I opened Twitter app (I Tweet in this case), refreshed and messages from an hour or more ago popped up.
There's a similar issue I've had where notifications would be there but I wouldn't get the sound notification unless I wake the phone up where they'd be waiting for me. I put that down to using the Hero ROM though.
I thought it might be down to using the Hero ROM but now with Cyanogen's 3.8.9.1 the same thing happened. It's a big issue to me but I don't see anyone else having it. Any thoughts? The only thought I had on it is a data connection issue where nothing is pulled in regardless of settings unless I manually witness / do it. Halp
Damn, i thought i was the only one. I guess not, funny thing is im on JF V 1.51 ADP with HTC Hero theme V1.3.5. Same thing with me, sometimes the texts and other notifications come through fine...other times, i wont get nothing for hours and be like wtf, ill manually unlock my phone and as soon as i touch the button my phone starts vibratin, ringtones go off, a million pop ups and my phone goes nuts. I thought it was just me but i guess not, i wonder what this could be? Maybe its a specific something, lets see what we have in common...
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1
ROM: JF's ADP V1.51 Cupcake
Theme: HTC Hero V1.3.5
Text Messaging Apps: SMS Popup, ChompSMS
Facebook App: Bloo
Also, i have to re-do my email always after awhile because at first it will be fine and ill get the email notifications fine but then after a day or two it always stops working and i have to go through settings, into applications, then to email and delete cache/data. Go back into Email, re type my email, password and everything and then it just starts all over.
Little stupid ish like this is drivin me nuts.
Oh thank gawd.. at least we know that we're not going insane and imagining it! Unfortunately I don't see anything on the phone we have in common other than both ROMs being based on 1.51
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1 (UK)
ROM: Cyanogen 3.8.9.1
Theme: Running Open Home
Text Messaging Apps: None currently
Facebook: Spawn of the debil! Don't use it
I don't use e-mail other than GMail on my phone right now and that works fine as far as I can tell but I get so few e-mails I can't say for sure.
This is a known bug with Android, started before Cupcake. Reboot usually will fix it for a while, I usually reboot my phone once a week or so.

Delayed Notifications in Cooked ROMS..

Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few of the custom builds (Timor, AthineOS, CellPro Evo), and one problem I've noticed with each of the ones I've used is that when I get a text it doesn't notify until I wake the screen back up. Once I do that it vibrates and rings, but its up 30min after I got the text. Is this a known problem with a fix or am I better off sticking with a stock ROM?
Thank You
Funny you mention this, because I'm having the same problem. I thought it may have been a tweak I'd done and was going to do a hard reset today.
The only cab I've installed is Microsoft MyPhone. And had to edit the reg to allow the changing of the notification light timing in the Sounds & Notifications settings.
Do you know if this happens before you've made any changes to settings or installed any software on the phone? I don't recall having any problems like that myself with Timor installed, but I'm also not sure I received a text in that time. I haven't tried the other ROMs you listed.
It seemed to happen after I edited the reg settings.
Doesn't seem to be a constant occurance though. I happened to me 12 hours ago, even after a soft reset. But now I just sent a test message to myself, and all is ok... weird
Well I've regularly installed My Phone, Marketplace, Bing, Groovefish, and MP3 Trimmer, but I'd rather not delete and hard reset everything to do a test if someone knows a fix
I haven't had this issue...I am using the Valkrie Firestorm 5 and even when my phone is sleeping my phone vibrates as I get SMS messages and emails...
Well I have hard reset and held off installing using the My Phone. Everything seems well with recieving on time...but now the screen turns on everytime i get a message. It didn't used to do that and I find it quite annoying..I looked around my settings and Advanced Config and couldn't find anything.
It happens in the stock HTC rom too.
It normally doesn't happen if you come out of the text messages and go back to the home screen after you reply to someone. It's a really annoying bug
Me too...
I thought it was the result of all the hacking, tweaking and breaking I've been doing on this flash since I've been using it as a "scratch pad" but the problem you are all describing sounds identical.
I will also second the Home screen suggestion. Hit 'End' after you are done messing with the phone to go back to the Home screen. There is definitely a notification bug related to not alarming/vibrating when not on Home screen.
Though I have observed this issue, this does not completely explain my problems. Sometimes I don't actually even receive the SMS or MMS until the next day or after rebooting my phone! Most of the time it's fine though. I'm going to do a clean flash and see if that gets rid of that issue.
Same Here
I have run across the same problem with a number of the cooked ROMs. I never really noticed the problem with the stock ROM though. In my experience some of the cooked ROMs are having a problem handling the text messaging. I have over 3000 text msgs in my backup and as soon as I try to view an older text, the systems tend to lag and freeze up to the point that I need to soft-reset. Im using Athine right now and so far it has handled the text msging just fine without freeze or lag, but it also seems to have the same notification delay bug that the other ROMs have.

Yeah I'm familiar with that bug. But I go back to the home screen 99% of the time then shut the screen. I'll get a message and the LED will start blinking, but only when I turn the screen back on will it ring and vibrate.
Same problem here with the cell pro rom

I have the problem with almost all of the ROM. Does anyone know if it could be a result of not using the right radio?
I could be wrong.. but I don't think it has anything to do with the radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem is receiving the message from the carrier, it's more-so the OS not notifying. This has only happened to me since trying the new WM 6.5.5 builds with Sense 2.5. Previous to these builds I have never had any issues, and only used EnergyROM with a COM2 build, and Sense 2.1

Im not sure about all the technical stuff your talking about...I just know that on almost every ROM I flash, when the phone goes to sleep, they seem to not do anything. Its only when I wake it up do I receive text messages, notifications and the weather doesnt update on its own in the prescribed time its supposed to according to the settings I have selected.
The radio version may affect the quality of your reception. So if you have no reception then that will obviously delay texts getting through, and stop you being able to get to the weather servers. But I can't see why it should have anything to do with delayed notification of texts that are already on your phone.
I realise this might not help you much, but on my EnergyROM (see my signature for full details), my phone gets texts fine when it's asleep.
The weather isn't designed to get automatically updated when your phone is asleep though. There was a recent thread on how to change the registry to make it do so, if you haven't done that then your weather stuff may well be acting correctly.

Awesome...thank you so much for the information and help
This is the thread about getting weather to update automatically - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585373
WHY DONT YOU JUST USE A ENERGYROM????? I dont have any issues with those roms and i just updated to the .88 radio. no issues as of yet.

is there a better way to fix sms?

About the nexus randomly refusing to send texts when I have full bars and 3g, is there a way I can make my superphone send text messages again without a reboot? And is there something done by the user that causes it or is it just another screw up? I ran a search :
http://www.google.com/m?hl=en&gl=us...droid-browser-key&q=nexus+one+texts+wont+send
but all of the posts I found included failed calls but I'm pretty sure I can still make calls so I don't know if my issue is different. Thanks
P.S. is this considered a bug in that we can expect a fix from Google? And is there an organized system open to the public not just of all the bugs but of all the bugs we can expect Google to address? I think I've seen it before but I can't remember how to find it. I ran a search but this is as close as I got.

Thanks
I don't have an answer as I have this issue randomly also.
I didn't have it for a few weeks and this week suddenly it happens everyday. Besides rebooting, nothing I do fixes it.
One weird thing is I can still send text messages through Google Voice, but sms and "sometimes" phone calls don't work. It's sooooooo frustrating!!
i have not ever experienced this issue, but i read about it alot. is it because you guys are using the stock messaging app, and i have been using handcent since day 1?
possibly. ive used the native messaging app almost exclusively, but chomp had the same issue for me.
Lately, after a few failed attempts I can get the message to send without a reboot maybe 25% of the time, on the other hand the problem seems to be becoming more frequent for me...wish i knew more about this stuff.

[Q] Native SMS notifications

I have started to have this problem and because I'm quite pedantic it's rather annoying me.
I've been using chompsms since I had the T-Mobile G1 and never had a problem with it, but in the last few days the native messaging app has just decided to start pushing notifications again even though notifications are turned off. While it's nothing major, it's bloody annoying!!!
I've tried numerous roms, it's the same in every one, I've tried freezing the native messaging app in titanium and then I didn't receive any messages at all. I've even tried a different messaging app and still the same. I know it doesn't really effect anything apart from my sanity. Has anyone come across anything like this before cos if I don't work this out soon, I'm gonna have pulled all my hair out lol
